1. On 03/05/2018, Commerce published in the Federal Register (83 FR 9282) its final determination of sales at less than fair value in the antidumping duty investigation of certain aluminum foil from the People's Republic of China (China). 2. The merchandise covered by this investigation is aluminum foil having a thickness of 0.2 mm or less, in reels exceeding 25 pounds, regardless of width. Aluminum foil is made from an aluminum alloy that contains more than 92 percent aluminum. Aluminum foil may be made to ASTM specification ASTM B479, but can also be made to other specifications. Regardless of specification, however, all aluminum foil meeting the scope description is included in the scope, including aluminum foil to which lubricant has been applied to one or both sides of the foil. Excluded from the scope of this investigation is aluminum foil that is backed with paper, paperboard, plastics, or similar backing materials on one side or both sides of the aluminum foil, as well as etched capacitor foil and aluminum foil that is cut to shape. Where the nominal and actual measurements vary, a product is within the scope if application of either the nominal or actual measurement would place it within the scope based on the definitions set forth above. The products under investigation are currently classifiable under Harmonized Tariff Schedule of the United States (HTSUS) subheadings 7607.11.3000, 7607.11.6000, 7607.11.9030, 7607.11.9060, 7607.11.9090, and 7607.19.6000. Further, merchandise that falls within the scope of this proceeding may also be entered into the United States under HTSUS subheadings 7606.11.3060, 7606.11.6000, 7606.12.3045, 7606.12.3055, 7606.12.3090, 7606.12.6000, 7606.91.3090, 7606.91.6080, 7606.92.3090, and 7606.92.6080. Although the HTSUS subheadings are provided for convenience and customs purposes, the written description of the scope of this proceeding is dispositive. 3. This proceeding has been assigned case number A-570-053. 4. For imports of aluminum foil from China, CBP shall suspend liquidation of such shipments entered, or withdrawn from warehouse, for consumption on or after 03/05/2018. 5. Effective 03/05/2018, CBP shall require, for entries of aluminum foil from China from the exporter/producer combinations listed below, a cash deposit equal to the antidumping duty cash deposit(s) shown below: Exporter: China-Wide Entity Case number: A-570-053-000 Cash deposit rate: 106.09% Exporter: Jiangsu Dingsheng New Materials Joint-Stock Co., Ltd.
